In re Allen
Judge:
Judge Allen
Date:
Apr-1-1986
Case Number(s):
85A-0372
Status:
UNPUBLISHED
Body:
Debtors sought to dismiss their chapter 7 bankruptcy in order to immediately refile it and obtain a discharge of both medical expenses incurred postpetition and a student loan. The court denied the motion, concluding that 11 U.S.C. § 707 applies to voluntary dismissals and requires a showing of "cause" for the dismissal. The court found that neither debtors' desire to discharge debts incurred postpetition, nor to time bar a claim of non-dischargeability constituted "cause" for dismissal of their bankruptcy case.
